Common Nutritional Deficiencies and How to Prevent Them with a Natural Diet
Dr. Michael Laux - Functional Medicine in Hermosillo and San Carlos
Why is it important to detect nutritional deficiencies?
Many people are unknowingly deficient. Symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, frequent infections or anxiety may be signs of a nutritional imbalance.
Dr. Michael Laux, a specialist in preventive medicine and functional nutrition in Sonora, evaluates these factors in a personalized way to prevent diseases before they manifest themselves.
Nutrients most often lacking
Vitamin D
Fundamental for the immune system and bones. Its deficiency is common in people with little sun exposure.
Magnesium
It is involved in muscle and nerve functions. Low levels are associated with fatigue, stress and cramps.
Iron
Indispensable for oxygen transport. Its deficiency generates weakness, tiredness and difficulty to concentrate.
Vitamin B12
Important for neurological health. It is commonly deficient in older adults or people on vegan diets.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Allies in cardiovascular and brain health. Its insufficient consumption favors chronic inflammation.
Zinc
Supports immune function. Stress and consumption of processed foods reduce its availability.
How to prevent deficiencies with Whole Food?
The Whole Food approach is based on consuming food in its most natural form. Dr. Laux recommends:
Fruits and vegetables of different colors
Unrefined whole grains
Healthy fats such as avocado and olive oil
Quality proteins such as eggs, fish, legumes and clean meats
Seeds and nuts with high mineral value
When to seek medical help?
If you experience:
Persistent fatigue
Low immunity
Emotional changes
Trouble sleeping or thinking clearly
A clinical diagnosis with medical support is recommended. Through blood tests and a comprehensive nutritional evaluation, Dr. Laux designs personalized strategies, which may include intravenous therapy, supplementation or lasting dietary changes.
